Facebook allows you to create groups, which allow you to connect Facebook users together. If a group’s privacy setting is Closed or Secret, this group won't be searchable from the Facebook page. This means that people who aren't invited to the group won't be able to find it. If you're the administrator of a group and there are less than 250 people in the group, you can change your group’s privacy setting to Open, which will make your group searchable on Facebook.

1.

Log in to your Facebook account.

2.

Click “More” next to “Groups” in the left menu to see a list of your groups.

3.

Click the name of the group you want to edit.

4.

Click the “Edit Group” link from the menu on the right side.

5.

Click the “Privacy” drop-down menu and “Open”; then click “Save” to save the changes to your group.
